Astrid Lague

Astrid is a former scientist, who left the lab behind for the fun of working with food!  She writes the Mealtime column for KidsVT, and works full time as a crew member at Trader Joe's.  She prides herself on a varied palate, a willingness to taste pretty much anything, and a zest for flavor.  She grew up in South Hero, spent a year of high school with family in Sweden.  Come the warmer weather, you are likely to see her riding around town on her beloved vintage 3-speed bicycle, Penelope.  Her culinary adventures can be found not only in KidsVT, but on her blog, lunchesfitforakid.blogspot.com.  She lives in Colchester with her wonderful husband, Chris, and two kids, ages 10 and 14, and their two demanding cats.
